There is a limit on SALT. There is a max 10,000 limit (5,000 MFS) of property tax and state taxes "SALT". SALT is State And Local Tax. Which includes property tax, any state tax paid like for last year’s return and includes any state withholding from your W2s and any 1099s you have. And any taxes in W2 box 14 and 19 like SDI or VDI. You can only deduct up to 10,000 (5,000 MFS) for SALT State and Local Taxes.
Can you see the Schedule A? If it's giving you the Standard Deduction and not showing you Schedule A you can check the actual amount of itemized deductions by using by going to
Tax Tools on left
Tools - Topic Search (top left box)
Type in itemized deductions, choosing. It should highlight that in the list, click on GO
Then Click on "Change my deduction". That will display the actual amount of itemized deductions vs. the standard deduction. (Be sure to uncheck "Change my deduction" after checking it so you do not lock in the wrong deduction.
How to change between the Standard Deduction and Itemized Deductions
Your response did not address my question. I asked how I could fix the error (of omission) that TurboTax made, not how I could see that it made that error.
I managed to solve my problem, but it wasn't easy. And I am surprised that TurboTax did not read in my state income tax withheld as shown in my 1099; it read in the Federal tax correctly from that form.
What was the problem? It may help someone else. Did you import the 1099R or enter it manually. We may have to report a bug.
I imported the 1099R. I had to enter the state tax withheld manually.
Yes, importing is not always 100% accurate. You have to check it over close. It is usually just as easy and as fast to manually enter forms.
I experienced the same issue as you did. Can you show me how to fix the incorrect state and local income taxes that appear on my deductions?
Thanks.
